After lunch Cam went off to look for accommodation. I went for a walk and ended up in Daiso, a chain of Japanese dollar store full of goodies where I got a raincoat for $2 and a couple tubberwares. I went back to the hostel for a shower, and found myself back at Railway again. Me and Cam went to grab some beers and chilled out in front of the hostel waiting for Silvia to get off work. We were planning to go over to SideBar, but since we were already drinking I just asked her to come hang out at the hostel with us first. We talked about English shows she had seen back home that were dubbed including The Simpsons, Family Guy, Friends, and Fresh Prince. Before we know it it was time for her to go home and I was so sad to say goodbye to her, she was such an awesome girl!
I got hungry again and I wanted to get a Viet sub from the pho restaurant but it was closed, so me and Cam made our way to Chinatown and they happened to have the night market on! I got myself freshly squeezed sugarcane as well as some deep fried prawns. After getting back to Railway Emily came out and invited us to go to SideBar with them. I didn’t really want to go at first but they all kept persuading me, so I eventually went back to my hostel, got changed and went to meet up with them. Apparently some drama went down between Emily and Natashia and I couldn’t find them, so me and Cam just stayed on our own. I did bump into Jana, she was sad to hear me leave and I’m going to miss her as well! I made sure we got each other's numbers to keep in touch!Next morning I woke up early to make sure I got my bus booked through UltimateOZ. Supposedly we get some membership discount, but it turned out to be just $2 off.. Once I’ve got my Greyhound booked, I bugged Cam to go get some eggs with me for breaky. He actually managed to find a 36 dorm at Nomads West End. I walked with him to the hostel to check in and the place stunk so bad I had to go wait outside while he drop off his sheets. He said the lift up was scary like it’d drop any minute, and the room was horribly disgusting full of sketchy people. He didn’t even want to drop off his luggage there he just needed a bed. Come to think of it, I wrote down not to stay at Nomads West End and I forgot to tell him… But I guess that was the only place available where he didn’t have to travel too far.
On our way to the grocery store we passed by Market City where they had a bunch of stalls that sell knick knacks so I wanted to take a look. Big mistake because I started buying souvenirs, I got myself a bomarang, a wine holder with native designs for my mom, and an Aussie kanga magnet for my friend and I told Cam to get me out of there before I spend any more money. We went back to Sydney Central where I fried up all 6 of the eggs I just bought because I was starving, Cam had some as well and he said I was a good cook, then we thought to check out the hostel since we haven’t done so. We went up to the rooftop and it was nice because it had a swimming pool and balcony all around. It was a bit tight but the view was decent. We hung out up there for a bit before we decided to go get some beers for my last day in Sydney. We went to World Square, but stopped by the Laughing Buddha for a drink first. After we got our beers we headed back to Railway, naturally, and hung out with our friends there. We ran into Noah, the guy from Norway, and he had 2 job offers, one of them was Jamie’s Italian in Sydney. He ended up turning down Jamie’s and went to work for the fine dining restaurant instead that paid more.It was getting late and I needed to get up early next morning to catch my flight, so I went back to Central with my remaining beers. I asked Cam to join me as his hostel was just couple blocks down from mine, so we went up to the rooftop, finished the rest of my beers, and we happened to catch some fireworks that the city put up every weekend which was a nice goodbye. Although I didn’t see much of Sydney but I had great fun and met a lot of awesome people! Outback life here I come!
